Fountains of Wayne Sick Day Lyrics

Check out the girl in the Harbor TunnelCrawling to work six feet underAnd the day has barely begunThey're all chewing gum

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio stationLead us not into Penn StationCause the best part's just begunWe're all becoming one again

And she's making the sceneWith the coffee and creamAnd the copy machine's not workingShe's a hell of a girlShe's alone in the worldAnd she likes to say hey good lookinShe's on her wayShe's taking a sick day..soon

And here is the man pushing paper past herThinks up ways to make the day go fasterBut the day goes on and onHe daydreams of his lawnAnd all about the pretty careerist the next cube overThe fat secretary, the lunchtime loverTil the path train finally comesThe platform's full of b__s again

And she's making the sceneWith the coffee and creamAnd the copy machine's not workingShe's a hell of a girlShe's alone in the worldAnd she likes to say hey good lookinShe's on her wayShe's taking a sick day..soon

And she's taking her timeAs she's tossing a dimeAt the man in the cardboard coffinIt doesn't have to be fineShe's ahead of the lineAnd doesn't have to be here too oftenShe's making a playShe's taking a sick day..soon
